In its annual report for 2022, rights group Amnesty International criticises the West for double standards regarding human rights abuses around the world. Amnesty underlines the silence of western governments on Saudi Arabia's rights record, widespread repression in Egypt, and Israel's treatment of Palestinians.
"The West's formidable response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine underscored double standards, exposing in comparison how inconsequential their reactions have been to so many other violations of the UN Charter," Amnesty Secretary-General Agnès Callamard said during the presentation of the report in Paris.
